Mandlig modelstudie, liggende, sammenkrøbet 1671 - 1738

This study of a male nude, executed in black chalk on paper, was created between 1671 and 1738 by Dutch artist Hendrik Krock. The figure is depicted in a dynamic pose, with its body twisted and contorted into a complex configuration. Krock’s skillful use of shading highlights the model's musculature and creates a sense of depth and volume. This drawing is a testament to Krock’s talent for capturing the human form and his dedication to anatomical study, a crucial aspect of artistic practice during this period.
